I found the most amazing cemetery in Greensboro, Green Hill Cemetery. I took a project shot there (my pano) and decided to go back and do some fun shots with a friend. The image with two ghosts may still need a little work, but I love it. It was a lot of fun to play around with the long exposures and see what I could get. It may sound creepy but I think cemeteries are (most of the time) beautiful.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the comments. The sign says that it closes at “dark” but last time I was there after sunset and when I left, the gates were still open. I saw several folks (one lady several days, apparently she regularly walks there) but no one that looked like a grounds keeper.
As for the photos I didn’t really do anything in PS except sharpen, dodge and burn a little. I haven’t really done much of anything with the second shot yet. Not sure what I want and haven’t really had time to play. I shot it under tungsten so it looks a little blue but its RAW so I may change that, I just don’t know. I put them in BW in Bridge.

technically you’re trespassing if you’re there much past dusk. but i’ve never had any trouble, the gates are never closed, and it’s far too large of a place to patrol.

something i’ve been meaning to do, but have never gotten around to:
go to google/yahoo maps. zoom in on graveyard and print it out, to map out the more interesting graves / crypts.

and next time you’re there. look for my little secret spot: in the southeastern corner of the cemetery there’s a special gated-off private cemetery. it’s a neat little find. i didn’t discover it until probably the 5th or 6th time visiting the place.

other things to look for: the (damaged) confederate soldier monument/statue, 3 or 4 mausoleums, a hillside of fallen graves, angle monuments, biblical statues, lamb monuments, the wealthy family plots with massive obelisks/spires, the stream, and especially this time of year, very large, creepy, gnarled old trees.

and look for cats. i often hear what sounds like cats or kittens nearby when i’m in the deeper areas of the cemetery late at night, but i’ve never found any.
